The Yukon Project of the Biological Survey of Canada
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Biological Survey and Its Projects. The Yukon project that resulted in this book stems from the continuing work of the Biological Survey of Canada (Terrestrial Arthropods). This organization was established to enhance and provide national coordination in study of the Canadian arthropod fauna through a variety of clearing-house, scientific and general roles, involving cooperation among the Entomological Society of Canada, the Canadian Museum of Nature and other agencies, and especially individual scientists across the country (e.g. Danks 1993). The main scientific roles of the Survey are to synthesize information in monographs and conference proceedings, and to catalyze selected active scientific work, such as the project on the insects of the Yukon, to help interpret the nature and development of the Canadian fauna. Origins of the Yukon Project. The insect fauna of the Yukon was one of the earliest interests of the Biological Survey project after its formation in 1977. The Yukon has many diverse habitats and an extensive but inadequately understood insect fauna, and moreover part of the region was unglaciated in Pleistocene time and hence a refugium for organisms. Consequently, the Yukon is a key area within Canada for interpreting the nature and

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
